“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine. They will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

We read in I Peter 1:18-21 “Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”
